That is a huge razor! Can't wait to see it when it's been restored.

That is a very nice score. You could enter the lumberjack competition with that one! I always wanted one. Maybe one of these days..................

LOL - so this is where it went!

Excellent - stamp looks perfect - I find these to be fantastic razors, never expected they'd shave so well, beautiful soft, smooth steel, velvet like shaves from another classic English blade. Congrats!

LOL - I am very pleased with the one I have, and another razor I believe emptied my PayPal account just prior....that one of sashimi's is a real beauty, only other I've seen that big and that nice is Wolfpacks, it's the same size and he has done a stunning restoration of it - one of the nicest razors I've ever seen.

I don't know what you are referring to.

This one showed up on the local Dutch 2nd-hand site: marktplaats.nl
They occasionally show up there, but most are in the 6/8 to 8/8 range and often have serious hone-wear.
I agree on the steel though. I've had two so far and they were great shavers.
Cheers,
Herman

Wow! Where did you get that???
Is there some secret place these swords are sold? Some dark alley in Sheffield that leads to a 6 inch thick oak door that opens to an underground men's straight razor club where French and German virgin NOS straight razors are sacrificed to a full moon and only the elite of the elite get to bid on these behemoth blades???!!!
Do tell.

That's funny.
No, unfortunately these clubs don't exist. (I think).

As said, we have a local Dutch auction site and then there's a Belgian 2nd hand auction site.
With a frequency of one GB every 6 to 10 months, they're rare in our country too.
And again, even if they do show up, they're often in bad shape or too small.
This was a lucky one by any means.

I'll try to stay away from shaving with this blade at full moon now though...
